### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from high comedy to a serious military conflict, focusing on the ongoing siege and the direct intervention of the human King, identified as Axel. Reader sentiment indicates Axel is presented as an overwhelmingly powerful and smug antagonist who is effortlessly dominating the confrontation. This has generated significant frustration, with fans expressing a strong desire to see him defeated, preferably by the main duo. The conflict is also challenging the established power of Queen Velverosa, prompting criticism that she is often portrayed as an invincible force but tends to be defeated in crucial moments. This sentiment highlights a reader preference for the central couple, Malori and Velverosa, to be the ones to ultimately overcome Axel, rather than a secondary hero character like Cerik. A minor event, cryptically referred to as a "bad dragon," also seems to have occurred amidst the battle.
